And so on. In the future when sense finally prevails (if) people will look back at christianity, islam and everything else as just as silly as zeus and his mates. Incredible that people seem to think that this one's different! Except, like, there's more than one at once and huge numbers of versions even within each one. So erm yeah, good luck with that.
Well even atheists do not get a pass. I hate that the word is limited to god claims. It is possible for someone who hold's no god belief to have other woo or superstitions. I've run into atheists who think "all this" meaning the universe is a living thing. I have run into others who buy JFK conspiracies and others who think 9/11 was an inside job. I know others who claim Gene Roddenberry invented the modern cell phone.
"Atheist" merely means "off" on one claim. It says nothing about the individual's education level or critical thinking skills. It says nothing about other superstitions or woo they might hold. It says nothing about their political views or economic views.
I do hate that some atheists are starting "atheist churches". Sounds nice right now, how can a minority become abusive? Easy, think short term and forget that you are not a separate species, create a club, write down words as moral absolutes, POOF, what was a mere position suddenly becomes a dogma with political goals.
